European/World Football Thread

Due to the incredibly effective poll which my dear friend Red Dog set up I've decided to get the ball rolling with something I'm surprised hasn't been done before on here. Yes we've got the Spanish La Liga Thread but there are plenty of other leagues out there and seeing as there seems to be at least a few of us that follow the game away from SKY () and, following on from MMH's comment in the poll thread, I figured we may as well have a thread that is focused on football outside of these beautiful isles.

Use this place to discuss the latest happenings on the continent and even further afield. If I can be arsed I may even try and write a weekly review of a few of the more interesting leagues around the globe. You're welcome.

Just to get things going, a quick update on everyone's favourite delusional football manager.....

In his first season in charge of Azerbaijani outfit Gabala FC, Toni (as it is spelt on the official website) has led his charges through a distinctly average first half of the season. Their current record of W5 D5 L4 sees them lying atop the bottom half of the brutal Azerbaijan Premier League (7th place), 11 points off the top.

His vision of Champions League football in three years may have to be revised
